Which browser gets the best battery life?

[redjax]

I've been using the stock browser because I love the interface, but have noticed quite significant battery lossage since switching from Opera Mobile...I used to be able to go a whole day with somewhat heavy usage and be at around 60% at the end of the day; now, after very minimal usage of the stock browser, after about 8 hours I only have 40% left. What browser gets the best battery life? Or rather, what browser doesn't use much juice to run?

I suggest to you use Opera Webbrowser. Opera is pretty good, and it doesn’t waste battery like heavy Firefox. It is take less CPU power. So, it is also takes less battery.

i prefer stock.

Im not sure what you use your browser for etc - but have you played with the settings? how about :

• Loading images - Enable / Disable / Enable in Wifi
• Bandwidth saving mode - Disable/Enable/Enable in non-wifi connection
• Display Flash Content - Always on / Always off / Show on Demand

Tweak these and see how you get on in stock browser

Note : having any of these setting enabled in full whilst using mobile network will drain you battery.

Opera Mini Web browser is best browser. It's got some cool features:

-Pinch-to-zoom and smooth panning​

-Synchronize bookmarks, Speed Dial and more
-Twitter and Facebook support is built-in

I prefer to use Dolphin browser. Not sure what it's like on power saving though. Sorry.
